Calling Rain Queen Modjadji....Calling Rain Queen Modjadji...enough now.

This rain must fek off.

Yah the rain sucks

Bouchers left eye really looks bad after that accident.

Yes, I assumed that they were able to fix it, but clearly not.

 

[Wall]

when will overs start being lost?

It does hey.. I noticed in another match in which he was also in studio.

The fates really have it in for us. Finally getting back into this match and now this.

Oh good. They stopped yacking. Highlights on

These important games shouldn't be played in countries with such a high annual rainfall.

The chance of a washout is just so much higher in NZ

 

[Creag]

when will overs start being lost?

Only after the first hour of lost play

I must repeat that my stating the playing conditions has nothing to do with the weather conditions right now. This shouldn't be a very long interruption. At any rate if the interruption is long enough to not allow South Africa bat any further, the target for New Zealand is likely to be 264 in 38 overs

I'm reading on other forums that the rain is easing off... play should restart soon...

Raining in Sydney too now, so just bad luck that games are in this sequence

 

[Flanders]

Just as we opened the floodgates too! Been peeled to the screen since we started.

cricket is a summer sport so likelihood of rain is quite high.

Saffers went off at 4.51pm and it's 5.21pm now. Only 30 minutes lost.

The radar shows a small intense area right over Auckland that hasnt budged at all since it startedd. Very slow moving

Gave me a chance to get cup of Milo... and breakfast: boiled eggs and toast

 

[Kilgore_Trout_Redux]

Rain does not suit us at all. DWL does not know about our 12 rpo in the last 15 overs and we started very, very slowly.

This is also looking like a batsmans wicket.

Grrrrr. Hope we don't get screwed by DWL again.

Very worried now.

 

[AfricanTech]

Lol, watching the 'speed' with which the covers were put on...

 

[Creag]

5.25pm Still a drizzle around at the Eden Park. The annoying variety, says Andrew McGlashan

Rain, rain, go away...
